Facebook is the preferred selling method for endangered wildlife traders

2019-03-08 12

Wildlife police have highlighted the growing use of Facebook to sell endangered animals as they seized nine critically rare slow lorises from cyber-smugglers.

The officers discovered the critically-endangered animals - which were in "severe distress" - crammed into cramped boxes in Pekanbaru in West Sumatra.

Sadly one loris had died - believed to have suffocated in the cramped, airless container.
